I think that the film did a very good job in telling her story. It was very similar to the book but different in a few ways. I liked how they did it in cartoon form. While i was reading the book i was imagining her as she went by and saw her dead friends bracelet and when she heard those girls talking about her in the one restaurant. The imagery i got from the book was a lot like the movie and i liked that. The movie did not go in exact the exact order that the book went in but i liked how it shows her waiting in the airport and flashes back to when she was little. I feel that i was able to follow along with it easy because i had already read the book.
One thing that i did not like was that it was in french and had subtitles. I also thing that Marjane should have used her own voice. With her own voice i think that she would be able to get her actual emotions across to the viewer better. It was very funny when she sang "eye of the tiger". One thing that i found odd was that her grandma papered her breasts so much. She said she puts them in cold water or something to keep them firm and puts flowers in them. I wonder why she took so good care of them when she had to hide her whole body while in public.
